The Suffolk University Emergency Action Plan (SUEAP) provides a system for protection of life and property in the event of an emergency that causes significant disruption to all or portions of the University. The SUEAP is consistent with the established practices of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Employees, tenants and users Who are the tenants (73 only?) and users?should become familiar with the contents of this plan and become aware of the necessary procedures in the event of an emergency.
The Suffolk University Emergency Action Plan combined with occupant familiarity with a building minimizes threats to life and property. In addition, 527 CMR 10.13 and the Boston Fire Department require that University buildings have a written Emergency Action Plan. This plan applies to all emergencies where occupants may need to evacuate the building for personal safety or remain inside the building by 'sheltering in place'.
The SUEAP is intended to communicate the policies and procedures for occupants to follow in an emergency situation. Under this plan the occupants will be informed of:
- How to report a fire and other emergencies
- What to do when an alarm sounds
- Evacuation procedures
- Shelter in Place (SIP) procedures
- Emergency organization
- Life-Safety Systems
